By (author): P. J. Kavanagh

In his foreword to this book, Derek Mahon notes that P.J. Kavanagh''s poems ''elude the obvious categories. He has never been one of a school ''. A poet of rural England, yet of Irish ancestry, Kavanagh ''has always stood slightly apart''. He championed the poems of Ivor Gurney and shares with Gurney not only a personal landscape (that of Gloucestershire) but a poetic commitment to the actual and specific, to nature writing at its most rootedly precise. His is, in Mahon''s words, ''a unique personal record'': ''a lifetime''s dedication has produced its rich results''. See more
